Jim Travis had every penny of his hard-earned savings in Sweetwater's bank. It was his future - but when Luke Parsons and his wild bunch cleaned out the town's bank, Jim's money was part of the haul. With help from the town, Jim rode out to retrieve his money, trailing the Parsons bunch across wild territory. Parsons threw everything he had at the lone rider dogging his heels, yet Jim kept on coming - and forced a final, savage showdown. Neil Hunter is, in fact, the prolific Lancashire-born writer Michael R. Linaker. As Neil Hunter, Mike wrote two classic western series, BODIE THE STALKER and JASON BRAND.
